Cold Flu
Plant Medicine Provides Fast Relief of Cold and Flu
Colds and flu are the most common of all infections; on average every adult can expect to get two a year, and children even more. Colds are caused by more than one hundred different viruses, so many that it is impossible to make a vaccine that would stop us from getting them. Colds are caught by breathing in microscopic droplets of fluid containing the virus sneezed or coughed out by a person who has a cold. You can also pick up on your fingers infected droplets that fall onto surfaces, and then put them into your body by touching your nose or eyes.
Colds are most common in the winter months, but can occur at any time of year. Some theories suggest that the increase of the occurrence of the common cold during colder months is because more people gather indoors with little circulation where the viruses are more likely to spread. Appetite is often lost during a fever, so there is a natural tendency not to eat. Sufferers should merely seek to eat a healthy, well-balanced diet and drink plenty of fluids, in order to stay well nourished to effectively fight off the cold.
There is a difference between colds and flu although both are virus infections. Medically, there is no such illness as flu, but it is now accepted as the common term for the illness Influenza. Flu is caused by different viruses from those that cause colds. Although it is caught in the same way and has similar symptoms, flu is quite a nasty illness and it can lead to serious complications in vulnerable people, such as the elderly and people with certain long-term medical conditions. Luckily, just three types of virus cause flu and a vaccine is available.
You should be vaccinated every year if you are over sixty five, or if you have bronchitis, asthma, emphysema, heart disease, kidney disease or diabetes, or if your immune system is weakened by disease or treatment. In the case of flu, symptoms come on quickly with shivering, headache, muscle aches in the back and legs and dizziness. A high temperature always develops, but should go down within forty eight hours. Symptoms similar to a cold then develop and may be accompanied by loss of appetite, nausea and even vomiting.
The worst is usually over in four to five days but complete recovery can take up to ten days. Not everybody gets all the symptoms, or with the same severity or for the same length of time; it depends on the virus causing the infection and the individual. But there is usually no need to go to your doctor, or to suffer in silence. There is no cure for a cold and flu but you can make yourself feel much better if you take medicines to combat the symptoms while your body is fighting off the infection.
Some medicines such as antibiotics do lose their effectiveness if they are used inappropriately or too often. Cold and flu remedies work in a different way; by relieving symptoms. They will continue to be effective when treating your occasional bouts of colds and flu. By relieving the symptoms with the most appropriate remedy you will feel better and able to get on with the things you want to do, while letting the cold or flu run its course. Plant medicine is guaranteed to provide fast relief of cold and flu symptoms.
The ingredients of plant medicine for colds and flu are medically proven to provide outstanding antiviral, mucolytic effects and are highly effective in the treatment of respiratory and bronchial infections. The Certified Organic medicinal plant extracts in natural plant medicine are rich in terpene oxide cineol. This compound works as a strong antiviral and expectorant agent. It also contains the strongest known mucolytics found in plant medicine, including elecampane with its uncommonly high levels of bornyl acetate.
The extracts used in plant medicine for colds and flu have been demonstrated to be an effective stimulant of phagocytosis, the cells responsible for destroying invading pathogens in the system. This provides an immunotherapy effect, harnessing your body’s natural defense system to eradicate infections. The immune system is stimulated and this sets off an immune reaction to reject any invading pathogen. Plant medicine for cold and flu is doctor recommended and proven safe for use.
